Japan boosts intelligence and security amid China tensions, planning new spy agency, lobbyist rules, and possible U.S. nukes.
Japan's ruling Liberal Democratic Party has approved plans to strengthen national intelligence capabilities, including creating an upgraded intelligence bureau, mandating registration of foreign lobbyists, and banning mobile phones in sensitive government buildings.
The move, part of Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi's broader security overhaul, follows heightened tensions with China over Taiwan and increased military activity near Japanese airspace.
The reforms aim to improve intelligence coordination and response, with plans to revise key national security documents and potentially allow U.S. nuclear weapons on Japanese soil, though Japan's non-nuclear principles remain officially unchanged.
The LDP also seeks to loosen export restrictions on lethal military equipment.
